Description
- The present invention relates to the field of home appliances, and specifically, to a water dispenser.
- Existing water dispensers all need to be controlled and operated by users by coming into contact with or pressing a trigger, and therefore, have stable control performance. However, in public places, the trigger of the water dispenser becomes a medium for transmission of bacteria and viruses due to direct contact with relatively many people, thereby leading to human-to-human transmission of viruses and bacteria, and affecting health of users.
- To overcome disadvantages of the prior art, the present invention provides a contactless water dispenser, where an instruction of a user is obtained at a distance by disposing a contactless triggering portion on a trigger, thereby effectively preventing transmission of viruses and bacteria caused by contact between a surface of a housing and different users, and ensuring health of users.
- The present invention is implemented in the following manners: A contactless water dispenser is provided, including a housing, and a water receiving pipe, a water tank, and a water outlet pipe that are disposed in the housing. The water tank receives external drinking water through the water receiving pipe and performs discharging through the water outlet pipe, and a contactless triggering portion is disposed at a top portion of the housing, so that the contactless triggering portion receives an external instruction at a distance and triggers implementation of a corresponding operation. A contactless triggering portion that can receive the external instruction at a distance is disposed on a connecting seat, so that a user may control running of the water dispenser at a distance without coming into contact with the water dispenser. The user is prevented from directly coming into contact with a trigger to prevent transmission of bacteria and viruses, and health of the user is ensured by blocking a transmission route of bacteria and viruses, thereby improving usage experience.

The infrared assembly that can sense movement of the detected object in the sensing region is disposed on the connecting seat, and the user moves a limb in the sensing region to control running of the water dispenser, thereby effectively blocking a transmission route of bacteria and viruses, and ensuring health of the user.
- Preferably, the connecting seat is provided with a mounting hole that is vertically through, and the infrared assembly is mounted on a bottom surface of the connecting seat from bottom to top and is exposed through the mounting hole. The mounting hole is provided on the connecting seat in a through manner, not only to provide a mounting space for the infrared assembly, but also to limit the infrared assembly, thereby preventing the infrared assembly from failing to sense movement of the detected object in the sensing region due to deviation, and ensuring triggering stability.
- Preferably, the infrared assembly includes a fixed connecting ring, and after being mounted in place, the fixed connecting ring is lapped from bottom to top on a periphery of a lower port of the mounting hole and is fixedly connected by using a fastener. The fixed connecting ring not only plays a role of fixedly connecting the infrared assembly to the connecting seat, but also prevents the infrared assembly from being damaged due to being excessively inserted into the mounting hole and impacting the shield. After being mounted in place, the fixed connecting ring is fixedly connected under the connecting seat by using the fastener
- Preferably, an upper port of the mounting hole is covered with a transparent shield, and after being mounted in place, the shield covers and blocks the upper port of the mounting hole. The shield does not affect scattering of infrared rays, but plays a role of covering and blocking the upper port of the mounting hole, thereby preventing the infrared assembly from a failure due to contact with an external foreign object.
- Preferably, the infrared assembly includes an infrared transmitting piece and an infrared receiving piece, infrared rays generated by the infrared transmitting piece passes through a mounting hole and is scattered to the sensing region, and is received by the infrared receiving piece after being reflected by the detected object, so that the infrared assembly is triggered.

- Preferably, the infrared assembly is located in the middle of a bottom surface of the sensing region, a height of the sensing region is H, and 20 cm≤H≤40 cm. The infrared rays are evenly scattered after passing through the mounting hole, thereby effectively improving sensitivity of each regions in the sensing region sensing the detected object. The height of the sensing region is set within a proper range, not only to ensure that a space of the sensing region meets a movement requirement of the detected object, but also to effectively control the height to help dispose a vacant sensing region, thereby reducing false triggering cases.

- Substantive features of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations of the specification.
- This embodiment provides a contactless water dispenser.
- The water dispenser shown in
FIG. 1 includes a housing, and a water receiving pipe, a water tank, and a water outlet pipe that are disposed in the housing. The water tank receives external drinking water through the water receiving pipe and performs discharging through the water outlet pipe, and a contactless triggering portion is disposed at a top portion of the housing, so that the contactless triggering portion receives an external instruction at a distance and triggers implementation of a corresponding operation. The contactless triggering portion includes a connectingseat 1 and a triggering mechanism disposed on the connectingseat 1. The triggering mechanism includes aninfrared assembly 2 exposed on a top surface of the connectingseat 1, a sensing region corresponding to theinfrared assembly 2 is disposed above the connectingseat 1, and theinfrared assembly 2 senses a moving path of a detected object in the sensing region and triggers a corresponding operation. The connectingseat 1 is fixedly mounted on an exposed surface of the housing, and a vacant sensing region corresponding to theinfrared assembly 2 is formed outside the housing. Theinfrared assembly 2 that can be triggered at a distance is disposed on the trigger, so that a user may perform water outlet control on the water dispenser by moving a hand in the sensing region, without directly coming into contact with the trigger, thereby not only effectively blocking a transmission route of viruses and bacteria, and ensuring health of the user, but also improving usage experience, and facilitating operations. - During an actual operation, the
infrared assembly 2 may sense the moving path of the detected object, to trigger different operation instruction based on the moving path of the detected object. For example, theinfrared assembly 2 may sense actions of the detected object moving to the left and backwards in the sensing region, and the actions are respectively used to trigger actions of outputting cold water and outputting hot water, thereby effectively improving usage experience. - During an actual operation, a position for disposing the sensing region is associated with a position for mounting the connecting
seat 1. In this way, not only it can be ensured that the sensing region is vacant, to prevent false triggering, but also it can be ensured that a space in the sensing region meets a requirement, to provide sufficient motion space for the detected object, thereby improving detection accuracy. Specifically, the connectingseat 1 is disposed on a top surface of the housing, to form the sensing region above the housing; or a water receiving box is disposed on a front wall of the housing, and the connectingseat 1 is disposed on an inner wall of the water receiving box, to form the sensing region in front of the water receiving box; or a decoration panel is disposed on a front wall of the housing, and the connectingseat 1 is disposed in the decoration panel, to form the sensing region in front of the decoration panel. For the water dispenser, the position for mounting the connectingseat 1 may be selected based on a structure of the water dispenser, to effectively prevent false triggering, and further effectively improve usage experience. - During an actual operation, the
infrared assembly 2 is located in the middle of a bottom surface of the sensing region, thereby ensuring performance stability of theinfrared assembly 2 detecting each region in the sensing region, and ensuring that the sensing region has a relatively large vacant space, to provide a user with an operation space. Specifically, a height of the sensing region is H, and H=30 cm. In this way, not only design difficulty is reduced by limiting the height of the sensing region, but also sensing sensibility is effectively improved, and further, a sufficient space for swinging a hand is provided for the user. In addition, H may be further 20 cm, 29 cm, 31 cm, 40 cm, or the like, provided that a requirement of 20 cm≤H≤40 cm is met. - During an actual operation, a circuit board (shown in
FIG. 3 ) is disposed in the housing, an interface is disposed on theinfrared assembly 2, and the interface is electrically connected to the circuit board by using a wire. The circuit board learns an instruction of the user by using theinfrared assembly 2, to control a valve to open and close, to implement on-demand discharge of drinking water, thereby improving usage experience. - During an actual operation, the connecting
seat 1 is provided with a mountinghole 3 that is vertically through, and theinfrared assembly 2 is mounted on a bottom surface of the connectingseat 1 from bottom to top and is exposed through the mountinghole 3. Theinfrared assembly 2 is fixedly inserted into a lower port of the mountinghole 3. After the connectingseat 1 is mounted in place, theinfrared assembly 2 is clamped between the housing and the lower port of the mountinghole 3, to prevent theinfrared assembly 2 from falling off the mountinghole 3. A through-hole is provided on a periphery of the connectingseat 1, and a fastener passes through the through-hole and is screwed and locked on a preset work position on the housing. - During an actual operation, the
infrared assembly 2 includes a fixed connectingring 4, and after being mounted in place, the fixed connectingring 4 is lapped from bottom to top on a periphery of the lower port of the mountinghole 3 and is fixedly connected by using a fastener. The fixed connectingring 4 is fixedly connected on the connectingseat 1 by using at least three fasteners, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the two. - During an actual operation, the
infrared assembly 2 includes aninfrared transmitting piece 5 and an infrared receiving piece 6 (shown inFIG. 2 ), infrared rays generated by theinfrared transmitting piece 5 passes through the mountinghole 3 and is scattered to the sensing region, and is received by theinfrared receiving piece 6 after being reflected by the detected object, so that theinfrared assembly 2 is triggered. Both a vertical projection of theinfrared transmitting piece 5 and a vertical projection of theinfrared receiving piece 6 fall within a vertical projection of theshield 7, thereby ensuring smooth transmission and receiving of the infrared rays. - During an actual operation, an upper port of the mounting
hole 3 is covered with atransparent shield 7, and after being mounted in place, theshield 7 covers and blocks the upper port of the mounting hole. Theshield 7 not only does not hinder passing of the infrared rays, but also plays a role of isolating a foreign object such as dust. - During an actual operation, a button assembly is disposed on the housing, a side portion of the connecting
seat 1 is provided with a through-hole, the button assembly includes a button exposed through the through-hole, and an end surface that is of the button and that is exposed through the through-hole form a force pressing region. A button is disposed to control running of the water dispenser, thereby ensuring that control can still be performed by using the button after theinfrared assembly 2 fails, to improve usage experience. In addition, the button assembly may be further independently disposed on the housing, which should also be considered as a specific implementation of this embodiment. - Compared with
Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides another structure of a water dispenser. - The water dispenser shown in
FIG. 4 includes a housing, and a water receiving pipe, a water tank, and a water outlet pipe that are disposed in the housing. The water tank receives external drinking water through the water receiving pipe and performs discharging through the water outlet pipe, and a contactless triggering portion is disposed at a top portion of the housing, so that the contactless triggering portion receives an external instruction at a distance and triggers implementation of a corresponding operation. The contactless triggering portion includes a connecting seat and asound control assembly 8 disposed on the connecting seat, and thesound control assembly 8 receives an external sound source instruction and triggers implementation of a corresponding operation. - During an actual operation, the
sound control assembly 8 receives a specific sound source instruction to control the water dispenser to perform a corresponding operation. For example, a sound source instruction “power on” is set to power on the water dispenser, and a sound source instruction “discharge” is set to control the water dispenser to discharge drinking water, which should both be considered as specific embodiments of the present invention. - During an actual operation, a mounting groove whose groove opening is exposed is disposed on the connecting seat, and the
sound control assembly 8 is fixedly embedded into the mounting groove, so that a sound receiving portion of thesound control assembly 8 is exposed through the groove opening. The connecting seat is fixedly connected on a surface of the housing, and the groove opening of the mounting groove is disposed outwards. During mounting, a bottom portion of thesound control assembly 8 is inserted into the mounting groove and is connected to a circuit board through the interface. After mounting is performed in place, the sound receiving portion of thesound control assembly 8 is exposed to the housing through the groove opening, thereby effectively reducing a loss in a process of transferring the sound source instruction to the sound receiving portion, and improving control accuracy. - Another structure and effects of the water dispenser in this embodiment are consistent with those in
Embodiment 1, and are not described herein again. - Compared with
Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides another structure of a water dispenser. - As shown in
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , the contactless triggering portion includes an infrared assembly and asound control assembly 8. A user triggers, by moving a limb, a manner cooperating with a sound source instruction to control the water dispenser. - During an actual operation, a mixed operation is performed on the water dispenser by using the infrared assembly and the
sound control assembly 8. The infrared assembly and thesound control assembly 8 each have advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, the infrared assembly can sense a detected object moving only in a sensing region, so that it is relatively difficult to falsely trigger the infrared assembly, and the infrared assembly has relatively desirable control reliability. Thesound control assembly 8 may set a plurality of specific sound source instructions as required, so that the instructions may be diversified, to meet a usage requirement. - During use, first, the water dispenser is triggered for power-on in a first triggering phase, so that the water dispenser is switched from a power-off state to a power-on state; then temperature of drinking water is controlled in a second triggering phase, so that the water dispenser generates drinking water whose temperature meets a drinking requirement; finally, discharging control is performed on the drinking water in a third triggering phase, to quantitatively discharge the drinking water.
- In the first triggering phase, infrared triggering is preferably selected. The water dispenser is located in a region in which a user often moves. Therefore, when the user unintentionally says a specific sound source instruction, the water dispenser is falsely triggered, thereby affecting usage experience. However, the user moves a limb in a specific sensing region to trigger the water dispenser to power on, thereby improving usage experience.
- In the second triggering phase, because the water dispenser has a relatively large temperature adjustment range, the
sound control assembly 8 is preferably selected to adjust temperature of drinking water. Specifically, different temperature instructions are pre-stored to ensure diversity in temperature choices of drinking water for the user, thereby improving usage experience. For example, “95°”, “85°”, “45°”, “25°”, “5°”, and the like are set to freely adjust the temperature of the drinking water within a preset range. - In the third triggering phase, the infrared assembly is preferably selected to control a connection/disconnection state of a water outlet pipe of the water dispenser, thereby not only facilitating operations, but also effectively simplifying the structure. In addition, when the water dispenser has a quantitative discharging function, the
sound control assembly 8 is preferably selected to control the connection/disconnection state of the water outlet pipe. Connection duration of the water outlet pipe is controlled, so that the user obtains a preset quantity of drinking water. For example, “15 ml”, “50 ml”, “100 ml”, “200 ml”, and the like are set to discharge the drinking water based on the preset quantity of water, to meet a usage requirement, which should also be considered as a specific implementation of this embodiment. - Another structure and effects of the water dispenser in this embodiment are consistent with those in
Embodiment 1, and are not described herein again.
